Last time I checked, it was not. At least not "for production use" outside the parameters it was coded for (i.e. the distribution and desktop environment Alex' customers have). The desktop environment I tested with (I think it was MATE) was very confused about this connection type; it mistook me for a local user and I got all kind of popups asking for permissions for this and that (mostly network related, I think) - and it allowed me to hit the shut down button, which did work. So any non-privileged user could shut down the server - like they could if they were in fact physically present (where the option to allow a non-privileged user to shut down the machine does make sense, think laptops and desktop workstations). Obviously, this is not something we should ship. I think it really needs more testing with a wider user base (i.e. more distributions, more desktop environments), so if we do ship it in a stable release, the checkbox in the client should remain tagged "experimental", and the server-side package needs to display a warning during install that BAD THINGS may happen. -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243
